Other Promotions

While the welcome offer from Paddy is definitely not the biggest one you can imagine the bookmaker completely makes up for it as they offer plenty of various free bets, money backs and enhanced odds offers for their existing customers. So the welcome offer is just a beginning of the good stuff you can expect with this bookmaker.

Horse Racing Offers

Paddy Power is really good bookmaker when it comes to horse racing offers. Apart from pretty standard free bets and money backs they quite often pay out on more places than the standard rules. On top of that they often go for best prices guaranteed on number of races.

Football Offers

Football is also one of the strongest sites of this company. People probably remember when Niclas Bendtner showed Paddy Power pants during the Euro 2012 tournament. It was a crazy marketing action but it wasn't the last crazy thing Paddy did. The bookmaker is really offering a lot of great promotions.

Other betting markets

Paddy Power has a decent offering for most of betting markets. They are well known from being among the first companies that publish odds for a lot of player and coaches specials, especially when it comes to transfer. Their traders are not scared of putting even some crazy markets. For example recently they offered betting on one of their biggest rivals next CEO.

Website

Their website is very busy with a lot of banners and offers. While it's really good to have so many options to pick from for us it's really too much. The site should really be more organized and cleaner.

Positively the navigation menu makes this easier. While all the offers and banners are in mess the navigation is simple and makes it easy to get to the part of the site that you wanted to land on.

Being an Irish company the paddypower.com and .co.uk is obviously mostly in green. While it might not be the best color for a website it's not too bad and we must admit that Paddy is really keeping their brand guidelines across the site.

Mobile App

Paddy is really focusing on their mobile product a lot. Their app is really nice and definitely better than the website. It's easy to find the betting markets you're interested in and it's very responsive. Probably one of the best mobile apps that you can have in the sports betting industry.

Conclusion

Paddy Power is definitely a good options for people looking for an established and trustworthy bookmaker. While their welcome offer is not the highest one this company really looks after its customers and once you open an account there you can count on number of regular promotions.

Paddy has a very strong offers for both horse racing and football backed with number of special bets, enhanced odds and money back offers.
